Hey PC, yes, u can do that , but a better, more efficient way is to start them in #1's, after about a month to 6 weeks , transplant into your finals. Cheers.

There is no need to test the Promix....it's already been tested plenty.
There is also no need for a cover crop, especially in containers. It's just silly.
The soil is perfectly amended just following the directions.

meh......much better to let the insects native to your grow room contribute their dead bodies to your soil. Make your own frass......

DDA day 35
Really doing great, loving life and getting bigger every day. LST is going great, she's really bushing out. Starting to see a bit of purple starting on the very tops. Just gave her 3rd watering since she sprouted, trans drench and tea, watered to runoff. Tonight will do her second destress Foliar spray.
M.O.B auto day 8
Planted this one directly into the 5 gal fabric pot full of kit soil. She popped quickly but small and only one cotyledon leaf. 8 days later, still looking pretty tiny but slowly getting bigger. Can just see the beginnings of the next set of leaves. Would the missing cotyledon leaf be a cause for the slower growth? Should I let it go and see if it grows or cut bait and start fresh?
Thanks for looking
Have a knife day

Just to make sure WE are all on the same page and make it clear
it sounds like you might be under the impression you need to test the Kit soil,
we dont as long as we use the supplied products and the recommended soil and EWC (NO K)
You dont have to TEST the soil if you use the recommended PRO-MIX, its been tested.
you will only need to add the EWC (no k) and Amendment, Cook and GO

Thank You I was thinking Doc meant to test the High Brix kit soil So I don't have to test the High Brix soil I use the kit on, I was confused , So I get a refractometer and take Brix readings and amend according to what it says in the kit as I go?
High PC
You don’t need a refractometer and you don’t have to measure anything
With the DBHBB ‘Kit’ grow, you buy the base medium Doc recommends, you amend it with the dry amendment from the kit (which is exactly the right amount for a bale of promix) +castings and cook it for a month, and use the Drenches and Foliars from the kit on the soil and plants, as laid out in the instructions.
The rest is just watching the plants grow.
Anything else is extra and not required.
And when Doc was referring to soil testing, he was referring to your outside soil, or native soil. That is another way to do it. You can have your own soil tested and, if it’s amendable, Doc will make an amendment specially for it. I’ve done that outside here, but for my indoor container grows I’m using the basic ‘kit’ with the PM medium.
So really all you need is the pro mix, castings and the kit and you’re good to go.

Morning gang,
Question for experienced dbhbb growers.
What could be the cause for a plant to claw when others are perfectly fine? My guess is that one of my plant is clawing because it need more watering with 1/4 strength of tp in between Growth and Transplant.

Clawing is normally due to to much nitrogen. That's a plant that more sensitive to it than the others. Cut your GI drench in half of what you have been giving it and that should help correct it. It'll take a while, maybe a week or so before it will correct itself.

Ok so i hope this isnt a square peg in a round hole kinda question lol but here it is. So my White Alien's still have a ton of clear triches. But when i really got in there an started lookn around she has a ton of amber already on the back half of her but a ton of clear as well. Idk its weird its like she chose to go from clear to amber right away on some. I mean there is alil bit of cloudy but mostly clear an amber. So im wondering since i wanted to try an land harvest time on a growth feed that would require letting her go alil longer since i gotta order new growth drench. So was wondering what would happen if i let her go longer would all the other clear triches jus go amber on me an i end up with stuff tht jus puts u 2 sleep? Or would they go cloudy like normal? Jus confused as 2 what i should do i dnt wana ruin my buds jus trying to wait for the growth drench or do u think they would be fine n jus let her go? Here they are as of an hour ago lol.
It doesn't take but 2-3 days to get the growth drench (if you're in the states) and those still have a ton of white pistols. The amber this early could've been from stress. If I were you I'd let them go, the plant will continue to push out trichs and you'll have a mix of cloudy and amber as it continues to grow.
Yes, wat Neiko just said. These buds are NOT ready. Give them another week to ten days, then have another look. They are coming along very nicely, just give em more time. Cheers.

Is it just the HBB, or does all soils generally flower longer? In my hydro, I have an Em Dog that is fully matured with all pistils ambered and most trics cloudy, and it's only about 43 days in, but if it were in HBB or soil, I presume it might not be this far along.

Hydro is faster! You don't need to grow a root system like in soil, so you'll generally be 2 to 3 weeks faster to harvest.
@Blazinjones . Not saying you aren’t doing this but...when checking the trichomes make sure you are looking at the buds and not the sugar leaf. Trichomes on the small leafy material will Amber way before the plant is mature. With the amount of fresh pistols you have I would think that you probably still have mostly clear trichs on the bud material. Looks like they can go a bit longer and will probably add weight as well. Hope you have a great weekend!!! All of you !!!
